if we could organize simultaneous demonstrations…Moral Mondays if you will…nationwide…and then if that same organized citizenry went to the polls….there would be gun control laws in the land….

We are the Change we seek!

I just heard that law enforcement visited the Las Vegas shooters a month ago and didn’t find them a real threat—–referred by Homeland Security. And a similar occurrence with the Santa Barbara shooter—-parents and therapist recommended police visit, and they did not find him a threat to himself or others. Law enforcement is not equipped to make that assessment. So many of our mental hospitals have been closed, and community mental health centers are underfunded and overwhelmed. I recently heard the Chgo police chief estimate that 2/3 in the Cook Co. jail now are mentally ill, and they are not equipped to help. It is a terrible and dangerous and sad situation.

We also need to bombard law makers to put the concept of “A well regulated militia” back in the Second Amendment! ” The necessity of “A well regulated militia” is the premise of the 2nd Amendmen’t’s “right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Even in the so called “wild west,” many cities and municipalities enacted ordinances that regulated the possession and use of guns. The Second Amendment does not give individuals –including deranged people or those illegally and seditiously advocating the overthrow of the government of the United States –unlimited right to own guns of all types, including military style assault weapons.
